Laeroport embroidered this tea towel for a friend’s birthday. We like the integration of the Obama logo into the “O” and the celebratory fireworks in the “E.”

Yes We Can!

This embroidered tea towel from flickr user jjjjo really doesn’t need any additional commentary, does it?

Yes We Can!

We thought the photo of this embroidered Ohio for Obama Onesie from Pink, My Dear of Columbus, Ohio was one of the sweetest Obama crafts we’ve seen.

And then we saw this picture of its proud recipient wearing it.

That little one’s probably going to persuade a lot of undecided Ohioans…

Yes We Can!

Rachel (from Austin, Texas) doesn’t know this, but seeing her wonderful screen print (using a hand-cut stencil, rather than photo emulsion) this spring was this first time we thought, “Wish someone would record all the wonderful, creative craft stuff people are making…” Many months later, and a number of projects of her own—and lots of great ones made by others, The Obama Craft Project was born.

We had the chance to see Rachel’s Obama print in person this summer, after she’d begun embroidering it in red and blue, adding “Yes we can!”

(Click on the photo to visit the flickr page, where Rachel’s added lots of notes about this project.)
